The most beautiful man you've ever seen in film or onscreen

Bring your A game, Datalounge. BEAUTIFUL MEN ONLY!

It's always some Bel Ami flavor of the month. The porn is tepid but the men can be sublime.

[quote]Juan Diego Botto from "Good Behavior"

always dark with a beard on DL

Juan Diego botto is astonishing. He also does stage work. Swoon!

Paul Newman in Cat. Most beautiful ever!

"...in film or onscreen."

Franco Nero was mighty hot in the '70s.

I love him in the 1999 movie " I Will Survive" (Viviré) where he plays a young gay man who gets involved with woman.

R6, onscreen meaning other forms of visual media (television, Netflix, etc.) Basically anywhere onscreen.

Cue the tiktok crazies.

Juan Diego Botto was preternatually beautiful when he was younger. Intact dong under thick dark bush is also a plus.

Casper Van Dien was gorgeous.

Autographed and stunning.

Delon in Plein Soleil is aways the correct answer.

R13, very beautiful

R14 Great movie. Had read book long ago, and then there was re-make, but this original film stands the test of time.

R14 reminds me of a very young Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt...Legends Of The Fall.....the end

Robert Drivas in 'Where It's At' could get it. Seconded only in my book by Jude Law in 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'.

There can't have been many dry seats in the theaters when Gregory Peck first showed up in DAYS OF GLORY (1944). Aged 28.

He was just stunning.

Alain Delon back in the day. That face and hair!

Yuck! His face looks like a leather purse my grandmother threw away.

Montgomery Clift, prior to the 1956 car crash.

Alan Bates in...everything? Gorgeous face and I loved his body—natural, masculine, fit, but also not deprived of good food. I’m grateful his beautiful, beefy bum has been preserved in several films.

Rupert Graves.

R20, yes

Alexander Skarsgård in everything. Most beautiful man of all time.

Jon Eric Hexum. I don’t even like white guys all that much but he makes mama’s mussy SQUIRM.

r9 - I was just pointing out that you were covering all the bases simply with...onscreen.

A young John Stamos. I dated a guy in Boston that looked just like him, his name was John as well. There were a lot of guys that were Portugese, Greek and Italian that lived just outside the city that were breathtakingly beautiful- that dark, swarthy look with delicate features, dark hair and pale skin.

I married one too.

Mr. George Maharis

Rupert Graves in "Maurice." Just breathtaking.

Runner up is Aldis Hodge is "What Men Want". He looks really hot with a beard.

Aldis.

There was a guy in NYC club scene in the late 90’s that was so breathtakingly beautiful I couldn’t look at him. I went to Twilo and saw him across the dance floor the first time and had to look away he was so beautiful. I had come with a boyfriend and quickly forgot all about him, making excuses to go back over and peek at the other guy. That relationship didn’t last much longer after that.

Mary!

R30, "ironically", I like Stamos better now. Hot middle aged man. Looks like he has good breath.

Christopher Reeve (in Superman)

Matt Bomer

Delon is always one of the most mentioned in these discussions (Newman, Peck et. al.). And he is beautiful... but half of it is his hair. Wish I had (wish I had had) his hair.

agree about Delon

Maxwell Caulfield then I got to see him nude on stage. Sigh.

It got rather old, night after night, r39. Nah, who am I kidding?

Helmut Berger was a looker!

He wasn't conventionally beautiful but I really loved the boyish looks of Oskar Werner.

Marco Dapper in Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds.

J. Eddie Peck on Y&R.

Patrick Wilson in Angels In America.

Cary Grant in “Notorious”. And Brad Pitt in “ Legends of the Fall”

Marlon Brando

John Rocklin in Splash Shots 2.

Diego Boneta from Terminator Dark Fate.

Too bad the film was feminist garbage.

[quote]Delon in Plein Soleil is aways the correct answer.

R14 Agreed. Delon was beautiful.

R40 What is that? Looks wonderful!

Mexican actor Jorge Rivero - perfect face, perfect bod.

Ben Browder from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s.

steve reeves.... jon erik hexum...guy madison... clint walker....

Chad Everett in every tv/film he ever made. Perfect till the day he died, YUM!

James Garner. Beautiful.

Say what you will about his aging, his look, his acting, etc., there was nobody who had more masterful love affair with the camera in his early years than Daniel Day-Lewis.

As a kid, I thought Peter Barton (The Powers of Matthew Starr) was the most beautiful man on TV.

Rupert Everett - in his prime.

Brando was more handsome than Delon but I nominated Delon because the criteria was "beautiful". I'm not a great fan of Delon the man or the actor (over age 40). Brando had a delicateness and prettiness in his face and even his movements, I will agree, but mostly he was handsome and had an animal masculinity. And that body. Sometimes its about the roles. Delon was slight, small, but had the panther presence, and you could see the street thug/hustler peeking out. Comes together beautifully in some of his early roles such as Plein Soleil and Rocco. His face was good for the camera - it had different shapes and moods defending how it was captured.

R60 I know most of the world doesn't agree with me, but I never quite understood those who thought Brando was the most beautiful man alive. He had magnetism, clearly. But his face always looked incomplete, too rounded... like it had been taken out of the mold too soon and melted a bit.

R61 Great description. Paul Newman's face seemed more complete.

Exactly, something "refreshingly" sexy about Newman's crisp and youthful bones.... Harris Dickinson is the actor currently who has that quality... but needs just a touch of pain and darkness to add to the "pretty" he's been given. Newman had both.

Karl Urban as Billy Butcher

Millions of actors on the last 50 and no one has been able to match Alain Delon’s beauty in his prime.

R63 Harris was striking in that movie.

In the last 50 years*. R65 here. Sorry for the typo

Hart Bochner

Jailbait Delon.

Wallace Reid in the Golden Chance (1915)

He looks like Delon in that pic!

See R59

Meant for R69!

Among mainstream movie and TV stars, Hexum has to remain my number-one choice. Among porn stars, it would probably have to be this guy, Rex Chandler.

Sterling Hayden in Bahama Passage.

Young Gary...

George O'Brien!

The 1980 Timothy Dalton as Prince Barin in [italic]Flash Gordon.[/italic] For some reason, that sheer magnetism didn't come off in any of his other films, including the James Bond ones. This clip might also be of interest to any S&M aficionados amongst us.

R74 Sterling Hayden! Yes! He was gorgeous, great face and body. Plus, he lived an interesting life which makes him even more beautiful.

BTW, he's on TCM right now in Dr Strangelove. Not his greatest role but he's still gorgeous.

Wow, nothing for Robert Redford. In the 70s, he was THE heartthrob.

R79 Redford was a bump in the road regarding beauty, similar to Brad Pitt. Pretty for a minute, not beautiful.

Redford had terrible skin. He was handsome though.

I love Sterling Hayden as an actor, r78, but he was never as beautiful as he was in BAHAMA PASSAGE, in which he ran around shirtless in white shorts. He was breathtaking.

R82 Sterling Hayden all the way. Beautiful body.

I loved/hated him in The Godfather. He was still BDF but such an evil fuck. I cried when Michael shot him in the restaurant and I know that was wrong.

Alain Delon.

Chris O’Donnell in the 90s was hard to beat.

R68 - Hart Bochner was especially attractive in Apartment Zero.

R85 I waited on Chris O’Donnell in the early 90’s at Joe’s bar and grill on Newbury St. in Boston. He was absolutely breathtaking to look at.,

Mel Gibson early 80s (Year of Living Dangerously, Gallipoli). Both pretty AND masculine. Perfection.

Walter Brennan

Alain Delon was a very small man in stature. His body was nothing to write home about same as Paul Newman. I think beautiful men need to look like men. They need to have a masculine body and some kind of height.

I would say Robert Redford was a very handsome man in his prime. And I still think Brad Pitt is sexy....

When I think of beauty, this boy always comes to mind...Taylor Lautner.

R90, Your definition of "beautiful" is unusual, in that "masculine" is not a synonym. A "masculine-looking" woman, for example, would not be immediately thought of as "beautiful."

Speaking of Italian beauties, R7 - Terence Hill/Mario Girotti was spectacular when he was young.

R94... he has that steve reeves type look in that photo...

perhaps we need to distinguish between a beautiful man and a beautiful boy everyone? masculine handsome vs pretty boy? height and body as well?

Rod Taylor in his prime.

Prime beef.

“The Time Machine.”

Yes, r95! _ Because after Delon, I would say young Leonard Whiting!

What about a *handsome* woman, r93?

Jamie Dornan

Kim Rossi Stewart, he's up there with Alain Delon.

[quote]www.imdb.com/name/nm0744107/

I'm partial to Brian Aherne.

Ryan Zane in the ChiChi Larue remake of “The Back Room”.

R90, masculine is an adjective that is usually reserved to describe a man. A man that is shorter and smaller in stature can look more feminine overall. And he must have a well defined faced with preferably chiseled features. He must also have a beautiful face ....square jaw and cleft chin are a plus.... along with a tall well proportioned body....think Cary Grant.

Then ya got yer joli laid....

R90 I think Chad Everett....perfect as you described

Chad Everett was like Naugahyde upholstery. I never got the attraction. Very young, he was pretty. But by his mid-20s, nah...

Marlon Brando in a Street Car Named Desire was so damn sexy.

Brad Pitt in Fight Club was his sexiest to me.

Raoul Bova

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

So glad two people mentioned silent screen star George O'Brien--absolutely gorgeous in "Sunrise"--and the young Brian Aherne. They're rarely mentioned, and they both beautiful men.

And Ramon Novarro was breathtaking.

Juan Diego! I don't know if I'd call him beautiful, but oh darlin', worthy of El Greco! (fans self with his Tennessee Williams fan).

And the bod, r111....

....

Robert Donat had beautiful eyes...

R102 - OP said BEAUTIFUL, NOT Walmart-esque good-looking, okay?

Wait a minute, R94, isn't that Franco Nero in that photo? Sure looks him to me.

I don't know who the actor is, but "Phaeton", i.e., the carriage driver, in A Room to a View is breathtaking. And he meets R103 's guidelines for masculinity.

Starts around 1:05 in the video.

For a while, I thought Treat Williams was the most beautiful man on TV.

Hritik Roshan

I’d say Alain Delon

Dominic Cooper in “Mamma Mia”

Just say Yes to Robert Redford.

Gorgeous Stephen Boyd who died when he was only 45.

Stunning John Gavin.

Viggo Mortensen

Juan Diego BottoM?

I was watching "Hannibal" and the guy who plays an Italian cop who records the videos for Clarice is GORGEOUS

Mussies get moist, then gush, then collapse into a mushy messes when this fellow appears onscreen. (Typing one-handed right now.)

Tom Hernández, aka "Don Diego," actor and good will ambassador of the Del Mar (now San Diego County) Fair.

Marco Leonardi in "Cinema Paradiso"

Newman. Even in black and white and low quality, beautiful.

More Newman.

And even more Newman. Behold his beauty:

Matt Battaglia

In the younger generation, I find this Frenchie very handsome. Maxence Danet Fauvel. Plus, in a recent interview he said that he could easily fall in love with a man and that this has happened to him before but that nothing happened because he was suffering from sickly shyness.

Rutger Hauer

R136 He was in Skam France as Eliott

Alain Delon, Marlon Brando and the young Jude Law and the young Brad Pitt

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

ONLY with a beard tho. I find that 70s Marvin Gaye, Black Panther look HOT.

Robert Tyler (Barry Kaufman)

Jesse Williams (SLURP)

j'adore les jolis meks français

Colin Firth

Gardner McKay

Chad Everett

This guy - unfortunately I forgot to write down his name or the name of the movie/TV show it was from. Anyone know?

La belle Keanu

R148 1991 Keanu was a dream - Point Break, Bill & Ted, My Own Private Idaho...

Clearly the most beautiful man in the world is each person's choice but I'm all for Delon.

Actually, I think Indian actor/model Upen Patel is the most beautiful man ever.

George.

George O'Brien was absolutely gorgeous and proud of his nakedness.

And a fucking good actor. Sunrise is breathtaking

So much of it is lighting, angle, lens opening and age...

George O'Brien was not always pretty.

Chad Everett is not hot! You might as well just write Lorne Greene.

Theo james in divergent.

Pretty pretty Warren Beatty

James Wolk for me. The first time I saw him on screen, my heart skipped a beat. I'm not sure what it is about him, but there's such a kindness behind his eyes instead of that usually brooding or smarmy style the other guys in his generation seem to adopt. I find it irresistible and beautiful. Total husband material.

L of A era O'Toole

R156 I beg to differ with you. Chad Everett was the hottest thing going in the 70s and as he aged he got even better! Did you not see him in Mulholland Drive! Yum....

Morten Harket, lead singer of A-Ha. Gorgeous in the 80s and STILL gorgeous. Norwegian Wood, indeed!

R155 That is twenty years later, numbskull.

Chad Everett was hot til the day he died.

And then he got cold...

Who's that rather attractive woman @ R[160]

Chad Everett in THE CHAPMAN REPORT. Directed by.....George Cukor :-)

For you r167

I watched Body Snatchers last night for the first time. I had to pause the fucking movie when the camera zoomed in to Billy Wirth's face and I just stared at it for a while. Sweet Baby Jesus, what a beautiful man that was. Good head of hair too.

Handsome Tyrone Power who was also bisexual.

Michael Sheen in Wilde

R170 Yes, Gorgeous. Died when he was only 44.

Speak for yourself OP. He looks like the son of Brian 'Broken Nose' Williams, with a Halloween beard disguise...

As I have said many times on DL, as we have this thread quarterly if not monthly, my grandmother always referred to Tyrone Power as "such a pretty man".

Second, third, and fourth on Theo James.

Chris Lowell in The Help

Theo James looks like mad scientists and marketing experts created a pretty man in the test tube but some of calculation is off so it never flies. He was gorgeous very young, and I think he might improve again around 40-50. At the moment, its off. Oh sure, he's still very handsome but something isn't right about the proportions.

so many good choices, Theo James, Paul Newman, Paul Walker, or AJ:

More Rutger

Also a young jason priestly in beverly hills 90210

Perfection....

Christopher Atkins, The Blue Lagoon.

Keanu had a prettier and/or more handsome face in movies before and after the first Matrix, but I loved looking at his face in Matrix.

[R153] I’ve been pleasuring myself to those nudes for decades. What an ass!

R181... EXACTLY! CLINT WALKER IS/WAS A MAN AMONG the many many "boys" on this thread...he really had it all! height, build, face, walk, mannerisms, baritone voice, etc....

Did r176 say Chris Lowell? Because I agree!

Brendan Fraser in "The Mummy"

Hope this gif plays

this has to be up there for faces

Zeff could pick em

Nah, sorry guys, but none of them can beat Delon when he was young

Colin

Looks like that one guy in the village who turns everyone's heads.

Keanu Reeves in Point Break. This is the film where both gay men and straight women shouted "FUCK ME!" at the screen (or secretly wanted to) whenever Keanu is gracing the screen with his hot presence. There is not a movie with this sort of male beauty worship, both face and body, in the history of cinema. Not one bad angle or shot of this beautiful man at peak hotness. Go check out these gifs and tell me this isn't true.

Probably some hip straight men thought "I'd do him" too.

Keanu was practicing on older men!

I'm sorry, but I really don't see the Alain Delon thing - not so handsome in my book.

My secret is out

When beauty meets beauty...

The beautiful William Shatner.

I found a measurement device we can use!

Miles O'Keefe

Miles O'Keefe

Chad Everett

So far out of the ones provide I'm actually torn between two of the later nominees, Cary Grant and Miles O'Keefe.

Takeshi Kaneshiro

Well, the thread was worth it to bring Theo James to my attention. Certain there is a "type" I find really beautiful that James fits into perfectly Paul Newman, Harris Dickenson.

And again, I'm confused by the number of folk in these threads who always hyperventilate about Chad Everett. Thick... mentally, waist, neck, skull....puffy from drink and bad food... always looks like he has bad breath.

A young Henry Cavill

Oh, OP. The man's nose is so off-center he looks like Picasso's rendition of Dora Maar's brother.

I loved Good Behavior. Photos don't do this man justice

BOGO

R175. This picture shows that in a decade or two Theo James neé Taptiklis will resemble his godmother Katina Paxinou.

R199, who are those men?

R213 Abbott and Costello, Rose.

R213 Skinny-Head and Pie-Face

Harrison Ford- All the way back from his younger days up until 1989. Just something about him including his devastating physical beauty turned me on, especially the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" era. I've told this story before, but at five years old, seeing Ford as Han Solo in the original "Star Wars", I knew I liked guys. Then around the time of "Working Girl", I saw an interview where he ran his hand over his head, smiled, and said, "I know. I'm a good looking son of a bitch aren't I?" It wasn't a joke. The arrogance! I was done. Of course, now he looks like a reanimated corpse thanks to age, drinking, and a bad attitude, but I still love Han and Indy.

Recent men, I'd have to say Henry Cavill- He's very nice to look at, and I just enjoy him for that.

[quote] Henry Cavill Delicious

Benjamin Vicuña

There are two guys I can think of that took my breath away when I first saw them on screen.

One of them was already mentioned above, the guy from "Cinema Paradiso".

The other was also Italian, Valerio Foglia Manzillo.

He was a model who made a few movies in the 2000's. The one I first saw him in was "L'imbalsamatore", in which he plays a dumb, clueless hunk who gets targeted and preyed upon by an ugly, creepy older dwarf-like guy who becomes obsessed with him.

I normally don't go for model types, but at the time I thought this guy was exquisite.

Keanu in Point Break

nice find

Ola Rapace is gorgeous.

Excuse me, r212. You mean Academy Award winning Miss Katina Paxinou.

I've never seen Psycho before but Gavin showed up in my feed one day. I think he is the sexiest white man ever. Makes mama's mussy very wet.

John Gavin was married to actress Constance Towers (she of the perpetually evil and horny helena cassidine on "general hospital" soap opera)....

lucky lady! got to have gavin between her legs for years and years and on that soap opera got to play "make believe" in one storyline and episodes of trying to have blackmail sex with sex on a stick character jax jasper (the young ingo rademacher! major sigh!) ... alot of dirty innuendo talk, looks and making out between the two happened on that soap! ( too bad the two never had screw)...at the time? constance in real life was 67 (this was back in the year 2000) and ingo rademacher was ONLY 29! that's a 38 year difference! making out heavy with someone old enough to be his grandmother! so damn hot it was!...

and ingo back at that time was GORGEOUS!!!!..

She did the cougar thing on Frasier as well, r225. But I think we can all agree that Connie's crowning achievement was her searing and trenchant (sadly not nominated) performance in The Naked Kiss.

Scott Davis. I just posted him in the WHET porn thread, but he belongs here too 🥰

Alain Delon. I like his gorgeous facial features and sophisticated look

Nick Stahl in Carnivale or maybe Patrick Wilson in Insidious. Perfection.

R195 Straight men seem to love Keanu, especially as John Wick.

Gavin was a straight, Aids-free version of Rock Hudson. Poor Rock. How it ended so badly for him.

[quote]Starts around 1:05 in the video.

R118 Yes, I felt a similar sensation.

It was a combination of 'Phaeton's insolent languorous beauty, the expectation that unconventional George would strip naked in the long grass (like Alan Bates before him) and the sound of Kiri te Kanawa's throat opening wide for that luscious Puccini.

[quote]Miles O'Keefe

Miles O'Badroad

The first time I saw Luke Newberry...it may have been the miniseries Cucumber.

^ He was in Banana, not Cucumber.

R234 Looks like a downstairs maid in an English country house, 1905. (That's not a compliment).

I stand by my pick of Ben Browder, but I'd give runner up to Jon-Erik Hexum, and honorable mentions to George Peppard (Breakfast at Tiffany's era) and Henry Cavill (Tudors era).

R237.. i'm sorry but no way, now how is browder REMOTELY on the level much less greater than jon erik hexum...

i like browder enough, but hexum was a walking wet dream in every way (that hair, that face, those eyes, that body, that deep voice, mannerisms, etc.)... hexum was so beautiful ("the making of a male model tv movie anyone!) that it "hurt" to look at him....

R231.. clint walker made rock hudson look like a pebble in "send me no flowers" with doris day...

R227 reminds me of young George Michael.

Sorry that was for R237

I looked up Jon Erik Hexum and went through a lot of his photos. My impression is meh, don’t get me wrong he’s handsome but in a generic 1990s catalog model kind of way. The deep brows/ low eyebrows take away some of his beauty as well.

Perhaps not according to your taste, R238, but according to mine (which was, of course, what I'm posting about) Browder in his prime was the zenith of human beauty. Only British footballer Ben Cohen really comes close.

Here's another one who definitely deserves a place somewhere in the top tier: Michael Pare

Trying again: Michael Pare

And how about this blast from the long past? Buster Crabbe.

Love this clip of Jack Benny crawling/jumping up into Clint Walker arms...at 5:40:

Thyago Alves. Antinous redux.

OP considers that tard in his pic beautiful? Gross. He is so basic. The most basic model of man there is. There is nothing beautiful or interesting about him. Get some taste, OP.

Larry was luscious

Mikey upset my metabolism

Josh Hartnett

Michael Pitt

Another vote here for Theo James. Mmmmmm

OMFG! You cunts have the worst taste in men. Most of these guys posted are the fugliest. Josh Hartnett? Barf.

Godfrey Gao RIP

I followed him on IG. I mean...he played basketball and listened to hip-hop. So fucking HOT.

I want to fuck Phil Mattingly in front of his election scoreboard.

R254 Hartnett was attractive basically for the duration of the 40 days and 40 nights film.

i agree about hartnett, looks like he always needed to take a bath...

and i have to say as a older chap, 9 out of 10 of the men posted are "meh".... either effeminate (one can be a pretty boy without looking effeminate in the face) , are boys NOT MEN or those who look great rarely or once in awhile but never 24/7 consistently whether on film or in person...

buster crabbe was a good addition... flawless beauty he was in his youth...beautiful but yet not effeminate...

personally i still think the likes of a steve reeves, guy madison, buster crabbe, jon erik hexum are in the realm of TRUE GODS and ADONISES...

BOGO

Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke

R256 you’re not alone.

Robert Hays was super attractive back in the day.

Cool gif of Robert Hays.

TW was a stop on the bus.

Maximilian Schell was quite the looker in his younger days...

^ Max had beauty, intelligence and integrity.

Tom Welling again.

Wallace Simpson.

So beautiful!

And he's blushing so much he can't keep his eye on the camera!

Woody Strode...beautiful man.

R269 Damn, that was cute.... his bashfulness total erotic invitation. Beautiful young man.

of that era of the 50's and 60's of donahue and tab hunter and other "pretty boys" i think ricky nelson stands out, also robert conrad (although drink and too much sun aged conrad badly after his 1960's heyday), also i would include pretty boy men like Van Williams and Ty Hardin....

Tab sings with some charm. He almost goes off key but keeps it OK. Another era.

Some of the recent hunky actors from Australia are quite fetching too. Almost too many to mention.

I can’t believe no one said Timothy Chalmet.

Hunky dory - Van Williams.

Hunky Van again.

Another Williams - Guy Williams.

R275 I don't consider him beautiful but to each his own. Although he is attractive in this photo.

Chaka met doesn’t even deserve to be mentioned here.

Chalamet Damned autocorrect.

It’s Christopher Sarandon and it passed and he was gracious about it.

Young Ian Somerhalder was gorgeous. Also young Marlon Brando.

I saw that Ethan Hawke turned 50 today - he never seems to get a mention on DL. Maybe he doesn't belong in this particular thread, though.

I never thought Ethan Hawke was physically sexy at all, but he did win my heart in Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight, and I loved Boyhood. He's no pinup to me but he can really add something moving to a well-made movie.

Ethan Hawk isn’t anything special. I get him mixed up with Josh Harnett.

Thanks for the Guy Williams post, and we certainly should not forget this fellow :-)

Theo

R287 is that Alan Thicke?

No, Rose. It's Mark Goddard from LOST IN SPACE, as you would have immediately discovered if you had just clicked on the image.

Guy Williams and Mark Goddard together. I think I know who the Top is.

I feel like this thread has gone way off the "most beautiful man" track and settled on "generally attractive men."

98% of these turds are fug to the extreme.

SO right R292 and R293!..

80% of pics posted here are average at best. Are you blind? WTF?

R292 R293 Just for you!!

R295 Then post your own fucking pics!!

Beauty is subjective. There is no "most beautiful man." But here are a few beauties.

Brando

Tyson Beckford

Marcus Schenkenberg

Beautiful young Ryan

Mark Paul Gosselaar

90s porn model Chance was gorgeous from some angles

This guy ALLEGEDLY may have murdered his sugar daddy to get his life insurance (which he got), but he's pretty.

I won't say my real one, because I don't want to read you guys make fun of him. So, here's a younger Victor Webster, because he seems like someone you all would like.

what's up with all these BOYS? they sure as heck are not M-E-N!...

R307 Men of the sort you describe are less likely to be "beautiful" and more likely to be ruggedly handsome.

R197, The criterion isn't "handsome"; it's "most beautiful."

Delon, Power, Whiting, Clift, Efron. In that order.

R308... but do they HAVE to be "boyish" and pretty bordering on feminine?

Ricky Nelson

Lets try this again Ricky Nelson

I’m surprised no one has posted pretty DL faves Cillian Murphy and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

I would put Victor Webster at the top of my list but he looks terrible in that pic. He was at peak hotness in the last ten years.

John Fraser was rather beautiful.

Born in 1931 and he died today.

He was Lord Alfred Douglas being rogered by Peter Finch as Oscar Wilde in ' The Man with the Green Carnation' in 1960 and was also in El Cid' and Isadora'.

Adam Driver

R316 That is the funniest troll comment today.

Robert Taylor was a pretty/beautiful man.

Even prettier than Garbo in Camille.

Breathtaking.

Wasn't he the love of Barbara Stanwyck's life ?

His beauty was so fleeting

This new boy reminds me of him

ROBERT TAYLOR WAS BEAUTIFUL, unfortunately like Guy Madison drink and careless lifestyle ended their beauty very quickly...

i would add JAN MICHAEL VINCENT TO this scenario as well.

Just a few months ago, people here were proclaiming David Corenswet the most beautiful man who ever lived and now he has been forgotten. It's increidble how short people's attention spans are.

TC Chandler's 30 most Handsome Faces of the Decade.

Robert Taylor had a three pack a day cigarette habit, which eventually killed him.

Hart Bochner. Apartment Zero.

I have a thing for Asian men nowadays.

Only asian men without the squinty eyes who look mostly white are "hot". That's why Jackie Chan got his eyes fixed. He knew his natural eyes would never cut it.

Are they actors in r329?

Alex Dimitriades in ‘Head On’. Utterly beautiful. I’m too basic to know how to post pictures mind you.

^^ Greek to me.

Fat Cavill in Count of Monte Cristo.

R330 Setting aside the racism of your comment for a moment, every time people talk about Asian eye shapes, I now think of Kirill Rubstov, a Russian actor who played Ivan Betskoy in the Russian "Ekaterina: The Rise of Catherine the Great" (available on Amazon Prime, in Russian but subtitled--it's very good aside from horrible CGI landscapes).

I wouldn't call him "the most beautiful man," but I found his features to be transfixing. His eyes are definitely asiatic and his facial structure looks Japanese to me, but he'd obviously be classified as Caucasian in the U.S.

Are you blind and stupid. He doesn't look asian at all. 100% gringo.

I also love Barry Atsma, a Swedish actor famous for the series, "Bad Banks."

Never saw the show in OP’s post. How is Dockery’s American accent? (Assuming she does one I mean.)

R330 I don’t agree at all.

Anyone will tell you, Nicholas Clay during 'Evil Under the Sun.'

R330, I don't agree. I think that Asian actor in The Lover was very sexy. His name is Tony something, can't remember.

Many Asian actors get double eyelid surgery...they all look so similar.

Dreamy Guy Madison

Not all Asian men get double eyelid surgery. Lucas from the Kpop group, SuperM has naturally huge eyes. He's half Taiwanese and Thai. The further south you go, the eyes are less mono-lid.

helmut griem

R328 - Hart Bochner was mighty fine in his day.

R338/Bootsy, her American accent is pretty good, as is the case with most Brit actors. Something about her reads British though. She's a good actor, Juan is OUTSTANDING and really elevates the overdone hit-man-with-a-heart material.

Here's a strong contender. Ralph Fiennes, "Quiz Show."

^Hilarious. "He" looks like an albino housewife from the 1950s with that horrid coif.

The movie took place in the 1950s.

Why so hostile?

John F. Kennedy, Jr.

For a time, I thought this gay pinup model from the early 2000s was the most beautiful, but beauty is fleeing and so are tastes. After him, Ian Somerhalder was my fixation. At best, "most beautiful" people have a short window of deserving consideration and then their beauty gives way to an average looking person.

OR they die tragically and are remembered as a legendary beauty.

Another view of R351

And R351 now.

Also thought the porn model "Chance" in the late 90s/early 2000s was "perfect" when I was a horny young thing. He's a beautiful creature but I don't know if I would consider his features to be "the most beautiful" today.

I can't be the only one who has googled "most beautiful man" after reading this thread. The top results in Google images by far are Robert Pattinson and Ryan Gosling by far. Both are homely to me. Timothée and Bradley Cooper come up...I don't gwt either. Ian Somerhalder, Tom Hardy (from some angles) and Wentworth Miller's photos are mixed in and that's getting warmer for me.

A lot of the posts are not picking men from film or television. I thought that was the subject.

305 That's Justin Davinney. Former gay wrestler, possible murderer, and one of the sexiest men who ever lived.

R356 It's 2020. People don't get ahead in the US today by following rules or laws!

Francis X. Bushman

R359 Are you Mrs Patrick Campbell?

The guy in r155 looks something like my mental picture of YMF.

[quote] That's Justin Davinney

R357 Is Justin related to Chloe Savinney?

Graham Faulkner as St. Francis of Assisi in Zeffirelli's Brother Sun, Sister Moon

[quote] …Graham Faulkner…

His buttocks were prettier than his Claire Bloom face

V or Taehyung of BTS

Thank you, R363. I have never seen that movie, and had never heard of Graham Faulkner. Zeffirelli sure knew how to pick 'em!

R360 Close.

Mark Kanemura. Granted, I've only seen him on a small screen, but onscreen, nonetheless.

Pete Buttigieg

I was on a plane with Don Diamont. Birds fell from the sky.

Jacob Elordi

Beauty

R373, add "/ embed" without the space to tumblr links so that people don't have to log in.

Sea Biscuit's hunk in " Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"...

Ralf Moeller A.K.A. Brakus in "Best Of The Best 2 "

That's so untrue, R330. And, yes, racist.

Franco Nero -- Watch this:

Some on this list surprised me....

Rodney Harvey.

Rodney (and River).

Considering how horribly disgustingly obese Brando (and Elvis) got, he should not be considered hot. If you are only hot for a few years forget it. Plus he was a terrible actor, like James Dean, totally over rated.

Nonsense. If you hit the heights, you hit the heights. Duration doesn't matter.

Longevity is more important. Who has been hot for years, like Harry Hamlin or Blair Underwood.

Girls! Girls! Shut your traps & oogle Steve Lyon in all of his glory =

The guy in the original post is very Gemini-looking.

A young Harry Belafonte was stunning.

Farley Granger made a pass at him back in the day. He was rebuffed. I don’t think that Harry swung that way.

R258 = R307 = R310, homophobic much?

Al Santos...looks like a young Marlon Brando.

Thanks, R390. Somehow it had never struck me how much Al Santos looks like a young Brando, but you're absolutely right.

Paul Newman

Danny Markel as Sam Fowler on Another World.

This was the murderer in some TV show I saw the other night. I'd be his cellmate!

Whoops, sorry for the above, not "in film or onscreen" - well, technically on a TV show.

Another vote for John-John

John-John from the Upper Hands commerical?

Paul Newman had an extraordinary face, like something off of a Grecian coin. But he had a scrawny body, with skinny arms and legs.

R398 Do you not think most of the ancients had scrawny bodies? There may have been some Olympian athletes who were bodybuilders, but they didn't have crossfit and protein shakes back then. They were either scrawny because they didn't have a ton to eat and had to labor manually, a little paunchy if they were older and ruling class, or else at best, younger ones might have been built like Michelangelo's David--who was more Paul Newman body than overbuilt Aaron Schock body. Sorry to disappoint!

2 woods: STEVE REEVES...

oops I MEANT 2 WORDS: STEVE REEVES...

This thread has convinced me there's nothing that comes close to "the most beautiful man." There are beautiful men, but none is flawless, and for every beauty that comes along, five more come around the corner and when you look back and the first, beauty has faded.

Never heard of this guy until he came up in the birthday list today - unbelievably beautiful in my book. Kavyan Novak.

I second JFK Jr.

Also, Robert James-Collier

^ Forgot about Jeff Buckley

Brendan Frasier in Gods and Monsters.

I wouldn't say Brendan Fraser ever had a beautiful face, although he certainly had a great body for a while there.

Why'd this thread die out - did we run out of beautiful men? I just had this French actor pointed out to me - Louis Garrel. Beautiful? To me, he is. People were saying his nose was way too big - but I think it's manly. Google Image search shows many great pics of him.

R408 There aren't a lot of beautiful men in this thread.

R409 Yes. To those wearing shit goggles.

Australia seems to be turning out loads of comely young men in the entertainment industry.

Louis Garrell and Michael Pitt in The Dreamers

Louis Garrel is hot.

James Mason in Pandora and the Flying Dutchman. Terrible movie, but everyone in it was so beautiful.

The mention of James Mason made me think of James Marsden, certain one of the greatest screen beauties of all time.

Jon-Erik Hexum

what a loss...

The French actor Jean Sorel was beautiful like Alain Delon.

James Marsden is a little ratfaced, like Nick Jonas.

Michael Craig was dishy.

Ronald Coleman.

[quote]James Marsden is a little ratfaced, like Nick Jonas.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I'd say your taste is in your ass. And I mean that lovingly.

I didn't agree with the people around here who are so into Alain Delon, until I saw this pic today - now that's beauty!

Marlon Brando in *The Men*.

R421, I agree, Marsden is gorgeous. Strong cheekbones, great dimples and that nice thick head of hair. His only minor flaw are his huge ears. He usually covers them w/various hairstyles, but on occasion they've been seen catching a strong wind...

Who can forget Troy Britton Johnson?

Antony Hamilton owns this thread.

Antonio Banderas in Desperado.

His only flaw, r424? Marsden's nose is his main flaw and you know it...

R425 is he an actor in films?

Troy Britton Johnson was a Broadway presence for a while, best known for THE DROWSY CHAPERONE. It was nice to see him mentioned here, even though he's not a TV or movie person and is therefore not known to the general public. He is/was really gorgeous and a very nice guy

James Marsden was probably never more gorgeous than he looked in a TV series called SECOND NOAH, which was the first time I became aware of him. And P.S., I don't think there's anything wrong with his nose (or any other part of him) in these clips, though it's true, I have noticed his ears looking rather prominent when he has other hairstyles.

I think Marsden is attractive but his features are all too close together to be beautiful to me.

Armie Hammer in Call Me By Your Name

He looks more and more like Tammy as he ages.

Don't tell me you can't see the rat.

Benno Fürmann

Wheelchair guy from Friday the 13th part 2

Who else?

Jacob Elordi .... terribly gorgeous man

I don't really believe in 'most beautiful,' but Jensen Ackles sure is purdy.

[R438] Who dat?

[[R438]Who dat? ]

James Scott, formerly EJ on Days of Our Lives. A longtime DL favorite.

Soap actors are not DL favorites, hon.

Tyrone Power

probably meant for the handsomest man on tv topic thread, but i was just watching the other day re-runs of "knight rider" from the mid 1980's and i was struck by how pretty and handsome David Hasselhoff was! i never realized as i didn't pay much attention to that show or him back then.. stunning baby blue eyes, pretty pink lips,a perfect flawless tan on his flawless chiseled face, thick sexy wavy/curly hair and a nice hairy chest.. too bad he didn't age well even by the time he did baywatch...

[443] An exception is made for Mr Scott. Because, well I mean look at him...

R437 I agree on Tom McBride, he truly was a beautiful man.

some very hot men in this thread!

Actor and model Russell Todd.

Actor Hart Bochner in "Apartment Zero" (1988)

Jon-Erik Hexum

The part of Phineas Bogg in Voyagers! was originally meant to be played by a mid-40s man.

There were so many script references to Jeff looking at Bogg as if he were his dad, that fits. But all that got changed to uncle (occasionally, 'son') because Hexum was in his mid-20s.

Hexum pix

it's hard to say what his best photo is; one is better than the next.

Steve Buscemi and Ernest Borgnine

Can't believe Elvis has gotten only one minor mention; he was spectacular in his prime.

My choices for male beauty: Alain Delon (most beautiful), young Brando, Jason Priestly, Ricky Nelson, John Fraser, Kim-Rossi, Victor Webster.

Rafael Cardoso, Brazilian actor

Scroll down a bit.

Jack Lowden

Surely a young Hugh Grant deserves some mention.

Contender

STEVE REEVES, JON ERIK HEXUM..... countless, countless more...

WHET Marc Singer? What a man and what a body. I even loved his flared nostrils.

R460, I met Singer at Comic Con one year; despite the zillions of people there, there's a quiet autograph area in the center on a top floor of the convention center. He was there, quietly; signing autographs.

We had a nice talk about his time on The Young and the Restless; for some reason, perhaps because of his size and muscles, I expected an intimidating guy, but he was very friendly.

Don't get me wrong. They should all be that way -- but they're not.

Jack Lowden again. His star is really rising. Talented and gorgeous, currently filming a new spy series with Gary Oldman for Apple Tv.

R439, lips are way too small for his face.

The Elordi troll is back. 🙄🙄

Some of these guys are extremely average. Which is okay, but they aren’t as spellbindingly handsome as their stans think that they are...

R460 and R461, have you seen the American Conservatory Theater production of the Taming of the Shrew that Singer starred in with Fredi Olster?

R466, no, I have not. just caught a quick clip.

Holy toledo; that man is beautiful, comfortable in his own body, and talented.

DL fave - Ben Barnes as the Darkling in Shadow and Bone. He is gorgeously regal and sensual in this role.

Brandon Hiding...on the small screen of Chaturbate. :)

John Gavin in Douglas Sirk's A Time to Love and a Time to Die
